| fyi on lower suspension links
well ive been trying to find quality lower suspension links and after alot of rubaging thru my spare tmaxx parts i have found that the rear toe in / toe out links/ turnbuckles are a perfect fit to replace the lower plastic crap on the rtr ax10. and if yall are wondering how long they are, they are 105mm which will give you a slightly longer wheel base. part number is 2339 on the traxxas website. im sure there are alot of you that know this already but i just found this out and thought ide share.......... also for a total of 12 bucks you get 4 complete links and all you have to do is put them together and then on the truck

Personally,I'd like to find some about 125mm long and some around 65-70mm long for the fronts. Thats only 4 links for $12? So for 24 I could build all 8 links on my rig,not bad. | |

This is awesome information I have a RTR on the way and this is the first thing I am going to replace.. so the rear links off the T-Maxx fit both the front and rear links on the AX-10?? What about the steering link in the front on the AX-10, what size do I need for that?

Traxxas 5319 are not even 1mm longer than the stock Axial lower links. (See my pic above). Heavier, smoother, and scratch resistant'r. Very good option. |

This is great info. None of our LHS carry spare parts for the scorpions, they have tons of Traxxis parts. I had been searching for a good set and wasnt sure what brand was good and what brand was bad. Has anyone tried to use one of these for the front steering bar? I dont like how flimsy mine is on my RTR kit.
